• Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any

part of the appliance.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR THESE BURNERS, OVEN

HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR WARMER DRAWER (if equipped). Both surface burners and oven heating elements may be hot

even though surface burner flames are not visible or oven elements are dark in color. Areas

near surface burners may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do

not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.

• Wear Proper ApparelmLoose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires=Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

In case of fire or gas leak, be sure to turn off the main gas shutoff valve.

• Use Only Dry Potholders=Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the potholders touch hot heating surface units or interior

oven elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers=Build up of pressure may cause the

container to burst and result in injury.

• Remove the oven door from any unused appliance if it is to be stored or discarded.

• IMPORTANT=Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power resumes,

the oven may begin to operate again. Food left unattended could catch fire or spoil.

Electronic controllers can be damaged by cold temperatures. When you

useyourapplianceforthefirsttime,orif it has not been used for a long period of time,

make sure that it has been exposed to a temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before connecting it to the power supply.

IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONSFORUSINGYOURCOOKTOP

Use proper flame sizemAdjust flame size so it does not extend beyond

the edge of the utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignitionof clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

Do not use stove top grills on the burner grates of sealed gas burners. If

you use a stove top grill on a sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your health.

• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan.

• Always turn the knob to the full LITE position when igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge

of the utensil.

• Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with one or more surface burners of

different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface

burner. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners--To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil. The handle of the utensil should be

positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other used of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of

electric shock or fire or a short circuit.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

• Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop. The searing grill is not designed for use on

the cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.

• Do Not Use Decorative Surface burner Covers. If a burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or burners because the covers may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and cause combustion problems.

iMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONSFORUSINGYOUROVEN

• Use Care When Opening Door or Drawer--Stand to the side of the appliance when

opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven/warmer drawer.

KeepOvenVentDucts Unobstructed. The oven is vented at the front above the oven

door or through the rear of cooktop. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or

near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

• Placement of Oven/Warmer Drawer (if equipped) Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven/drawer (if equipped) is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack

before removing rack. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact

the hot oven element or interior of the oven/warmer drawer (if equipped).

• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover your broiler or warmer drawer (if equipped) grid with aluminum foil.

Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.

Disconnect the appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before removing and replacing light bulb.

IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONSFORCLEANINGYOURRANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits inthe fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer's

instructions for cleaning.

• Cleanerslaerosols--AIways follow the manufacturer's recommended directions for use.

Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/

or injury.

SELF-CLEANINGOVENS:

Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the oven listed in this owner's guide. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove all utensils stored in the oven. Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket. Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. Remove oven racks. Oven racks will be damaged if left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off

during the self-clean cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

burner yourself.

PROPERBURNERADJUSTMENTS

[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible inawell-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharply defined.

Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean burner, see instructions under

General Care & Cleaning.

Surface Cooking

SURFACECOOK)NGU NS(LS

[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []

*GOOD

* Flat bottom and straight sides. . Tight fitting lids.

. Weight of handle does not tilt pan.

Pan is well balanced.

. Pan sizes match the amount of food

tobe prepared and the size of burner.

. Made of material that conducts heat

well.

. Easy to clean.

Note: Always use autensil for itsintended purpose. Follow manufacturer's instruc- tions. Some utensils were not made to be used inthe oven or on the cooktop.

POOR

• Curved and warped pan bottoms.

• Pan overhangs unit by more than

2.5 cm (1").

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Flame extends beyond unit.

[] [] [] []

Pans should have flat bottoms. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler

across the bottom. There should be no gaps between the pan and ruler.

* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be used but must conform to

the above recommended cookware requirements.

F ME S(ZE

[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will

influence the setting needed for cooking.

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. Ifthe fat is too hot, the food will

brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

WRONG

*Flame Size High Flame

Medium Flame

Low Flame

*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame.
